What Is Kakuna Worth?
Kakuna is an Uncommon from Base Set, card number 033/102. On PokeCardWorth we focus on one question — what is it actually worth — and at its current valuation, it is an affordable, easy-to-find card best valued as part of a complete set rather than on its own.
Kakuna Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Kakuna (Base Set, 033/102) is worth around $1.76 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $1.76, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.29. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $1.76, Lightly Played $0.61, Moderately Played $0.37, Heavily Played $0.31, Damaged $0.29 — so grading the condition correctly before you buy or sell matters more than almost anything else. A PSA 10 (Gem Mint) example is valued near $85.00 — about 48x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $47.90.
Is It Worth Grading Kakuna?
Grading Kakuna can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($1.76) and a PSA 10 ($85.00) is about $83.24 — a 48x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $47.90, CGC 10 $31.00, CGC 9.5 $29.99. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
